摘要

A palladium-catalyzed direct 2-alkylation reaction of free NH indoles has been developed. This reaction relies on a norbornene-mediated cascade C–H activation process at the indole ring, which features high regioselectivity and excellent functional group tolerance. The reaction represents the first example for a generally applicable, direct C–H alkylation of indole at the 2-position.
